TreeMap Chart Example

When to Use a TreeMap Chart

  • When visualizing hierarchical data with part-to-whole relationships
  • When you want to display large amounts of data in a space-efficient way
  • When comparing proportions across categories while also showing hierarchical structure

Benefits

  • Efficiently uses space to display large amounts of hierarchical data
  • Makes it easy to identify patterns, outliers, and compare proportions
  • Shows both structure and quantity in a single visualization

Disadvantages

  • Can be difficult to make precise comparisons between rectangles
  • Labels can be hard to read for small segments
  • Deep hierarchies can be challenging to visualize effectively

Overview

  • Treemap charts display hierarchical data using nested rectangles
  • The size of each rectangle is proportional to its data value
  • Color is often used to group categories or represent another data dimension
